Anger, Frustration & ADHD

I have had ADHD for as long as I remember. I am 20 now almost 21, and I could never find the right woman.
One day I found her, she was married and very unhappy. I helped her and in doing so fell in love with her. womans advice even called this man whom she was with a maniac.
For nine months we have been in love, I wanted to grow old with her, she knew of my adhd and helped me with so much as I helped her too.

So this is my second post. I have briefly stated my adhd in my previous post(new and just learning). This forum seems to be where all the topics are but i am still reading all the stuff on this site. I am going to elaborate on my ADHD issues that have been discovered. I did state some of them a bit before but i thought of some more after that and as per typical ADHD fashion, they come and go at random, although now it is a bit more controlled thanks to my med. I have been married for almost 8 yrs and there was ( or so i thought) not a problem at all.

Hello Everyone,

I have been diagnosed with ADD. My wife was the one who discovered the common relation of my symptoms and ADD. She was very supportive in the beginning but I was less accepting. I knew I had ADD, there was no question. I suffer from all the classic symptoms such as procrastination, loss of memory, uncompleted tasks, finacial incompetency. I've been on a list of medications but none have had an effect. I sought a Psychiatrist but that became a "Pill Pushing" extravaganza. I keep thinking I can deal with this myself but it has not gone well.

My husband and I have been married for almost 9 years and are both medical students. I was diagnosed with ADD (mostly inattentive plus major depression and general anxiety disorder) in Nov of '06 after failing most of my med school classes.

The last year and a half have been a struggle for me in terms of giving myself a crash course in adult ADD and using therapy and medication to start the process of acceptance, as well as dealing with the humiliation that comes along with having any kind of learning issues in medical school, let alone just walking around with ADD.

my marriage is on the verge of devorice. My huband has ADHD and is now taken medication for four days only. Its all I can figure. We are on totally different levels I don't understand how he thinks. He tells me he wants to grow up, and I swear he tries but he don't get verry far verry fast. and with our third kid on the way I need him to be more responcible. I need help. Not another kid. He acts like a teenager. Wants to be out with his friends all the time everyday. No harm done other then all the responcbility of raiseing kids goes on me the 8mo. preg. woman.

Forgive me if this has already been covered, I have read through the site, and haven't found anything that matches it. I am engaged to a man who was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age. He was initially put on medication, but later taken off of it. (The reasons I've been told were that he didn't function like a normal child at all *more like a zombie*, and he gained a substantial amount of weight on the medication.)

I am in deep trouble in my marriage. My wife told me 6 weeks ago that she wanted a divorce. She said that she was tired of supporting me and she no longer wants to be married. I was diagnosed about 1.5 years ago with ADD and placed on Adderal and Cymbalta for severe depression. I was also refered to a counselor for ADD and Depression. The counselor was not an expert in ADD and, unfortunately, she did not properly address the marriage issues properly. I asked my counselor if there was a book about ADD and the next week she recommended Driven to Distraction by Dr. Hallowell.

My husband is 46 and we've only been married 3 years. He was diagnosed with ADD about a year and a half ago after losing 3 jobs in 6 months. Then he decided not to work for 6 months and we had to move because we couldn't afford our house without him working. In the process of moving, he let a bookcase fall on my foot and I'm still in major pain because of it (untreatable). He also somehow got a nail in the lunch he packed for me. Then yesterday, he had a car accident and God knows what that's going to do to our car insurance. And I love that car, which I paid for with student loans.

Forgive any mistakes as this is the first time I have done this. Funny though-in true ADD fashion, I have been browsing this website wanting to post everytime...but i never quite follow through. I have suspected I have ADD for my entire life. Unfortunately, any MD I mentioned it to shot me down and almost made me feel like a drug seeker. Embarrassing. Apparantly because I was an honor student and was able to work full time and obtain my masters degree-there's no way I could have ADD. No one knows how hard I really worked for all that.
